Overview

Workflows are stored as templates. Workflow macros in the template define the major functionality of your workflow

, such as states (and the transitions between them), tasks, and triggers.

The workflow macro defines your workflow template. The workflow is then created by adding macros such as the state macro, to the body of this workflow macro.

Workflow templates

• are stored at global and space levels

• can be created and edited with either the workflow builder or the markup editor

• can be applied to all the pages and blog posts in a whole space, or applied individually to each page (or blog post)

Basic Syntax

In this example workflow, there are two states and one trigger.

{workflow:name=Example}
   {state:Start|submit=Stop}
   {state}
   {state:Stop|submit=Start}
   {state}
   {trigger:statechanged|state=Stop}
      {set-message}State is: Stop{set-message}
   {trigger}
{workflow}

The workflow template can be viewed and edited in the workflow builder visual editor.
